Lady Bulldogs looking to continue their season

The Otis Lady Bulldogs are looking to change the trend as they head into District play.
Fresh off seven straight losses, a whole new season began Tuesday in the opening round of post-season games. The Lady Bulldogs received the fourth seed in the 1A District 5 Tournament and were faced with fifth seeded Stratton-Liberty at Idalia High School Tuesday, February 20. The winner of that game will advance to take on top seeded Arickaree-Woodlin in the District Semis this Friday at Wray High School. The loser of the Otis/Stratton-Liberty game will see their season come to an end.
Otis week began last Monday with a make-up game at Prairie. The Lady Mustangs got off on the right foot, taking a 13-8 lead after one. The Lady Bulldogs had trouble shutting down the Prairie offensive game, only to find themselves down 19-31 at the half.
Prairie continued to roll in the third, outscoring Otis 17-7 to take a 48-26 lead into the fourth. A 10-9 period for Otis wasn't near enough, as they went to take the 36-57 loss.
The Lady Bulldogs wrapped up the regular season with a pair on non-league games, beginning with visiting Wiggins last Friday. The game remained close through the first half, with the Lady Tigers holding just an 11-7 advantage after one. Otis rallied back to cut the game to one point at the break, down 20-21.
Baskets were hard to come by in the second half for Otis, who saw the deficit grow in third by a score of 27-37.
